I stumbled on this ancient (1997) press release for NASA's SOHO mission-

"The new findings seem to account for a substantial part of the energy needed to cause the very high temperature of the corona, the outermost layer of the Sun's atmosphere. Since the corona's temperature was first measured 55 years ago, scientists have lacked a satisfactory explanation for why that temperature is three million degrees while the visible surface of the Sun is only 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit or about 6,000 degrees Celsius.

It is physically impossible to transfer thermal energy from the cooler surface to the much hotter corona, so the energy transfer had to be in the form of waves or magnetic energy, but no measurement to date had found adequate energy to account for the coronal temperature.

"We now have direct evidence for the upward transfer of magnetic energy from the Sun's surface toward the corona above. There is more than enough energy coming up from the loops of the 'magnetic carpet' to heat the corona to its known temperature," said Dr. Alan Title of the Stanford-Lockheed Institute for Space Research, Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center, Palo Alto, CA, who led the research. "Each one of these loops carries as much energy as a large hydroelectric plant, such as the Hoover dam, generates in about a million years!" (snip)

(unsnip)Energy flows from the loops when they interact, producing electrical and magnetic "short circuits." The very strong electric currents in these short circuits are what heats the corona to a temperature of several million degrees. Images from the Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) and the Coronal Diagnostics Spectrometer (CDS) on SOHO show the hot gases of the ever-changing corona reacting to the evolving magnetic fields rooted in the solar surface.

I'll see your 3 rock ons and bump it with a buncha happy naners. Sing the song electric!

“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” – Carl Sagan

Honestly, I would rather have an evening with the same music but some 'alternative' instead of booze

Turns out, I didn't get the job I thought I was gonna start next week :( Like a child, I'll try to escape reality for a while.

You're loved my friend. Your awake to the beauty of the astronomica and solar splendor,your doing fine. The right gig for you will show . I know this is old but true, if you love your job you'll never work a day in your life. Don't settle unless its a must.Peace

I got banned as a paid member almost 2 years ago ... but I couldn't get on the site at all except as an AC/non-member for months.

If your banned, how can you still come on as "you" ???

Just curious, I hear people say this all the time, and it simply doesn't reflect my experience of banning at all.

I'm with you same happened to me. Good day TS! I've been pushing snow for 26 hours , going to bed!Watched a group of naked college kids jump off a roof into a 6' snow drift at 4 am, while trying to clean out the university chancellors parking lot, quite funny!Nothing like being a plant pathologist that pulls out drunk kids cars from snowdrifts. Life is sooooo interesting, much love to you all!

Here is a question for ALL to chime in about: Do you think we are headed for a Grand Minimum, if so, do you think we will go into a mini ice age at the least?

I would like whys and links and everything on this. Would put it out on the board but just don't want to listen to the shills/trolls and the negative crap this question would bring up. Wanting real data and not dribble that "out there" would bring.

yes I do, the number of omega jet stream vortexes is at an all time high. The reason we're having these monumental lows versus highs on the front is because our pacific rim temps are moving substantially north. These cap influxes are derived from polar rain , particle assimilation through our polarity cycle into our geodynamo. We aren't getting near the numbers needed for sustained jet stream levels and ionospheric particle averages. We will see above average temps for the next 3 to 6 months and next winter will be a russian bear. Europe will be frozen solid and I do have climatic data for this just not sure if I can share it, yet , will if I can. My hands have been slapped many times. This weather is far from over , we will see bad cycles for another month.

When you consider the curent exchange in our suns levels and realize this has been greatly altered by sheer lack of FLARE output which is the initial catalyst in solar weather, you understand the factors involving plasmatic output. Its a cleansing if you will of a shedding sun. These minimums need to happen and we should be clear that if they don't we've got a dying star on our hands. This along with other events makes this a time for reasonant science to mix with spiritual gleaming. this is a monumental time peiod to experience. Peace all, high fives to you Angel!

Colossians 1: 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

What potential it had, it will return the energy for further solar parties. Minimums mixed with occasional big events can be very entertaining and alarming

1678 and 71 are leaving the stage, with only 3 tiny spots left behind. You gotta really zoom in to even see them, sad but if we are heading into the minimum it does make sense. I think it is the north pole (Sol) that has already flipped?

Saturn’s shockwaves reach supernova forceDuring a chance encounter with what appears to be an unusually strong blast of solar wind at Saturn, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft detected particles being accelerated to ultra-high energies. This is similar to the acceleration that takes place around distant supernovas. The full article is here: [link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com (secure)]

Not too much going down Solar Action wise,just check...no,nothing happening.

So I'm a little bored(not a small chopping one)hence this post - In this movie [link to www.sidc.oma.be] Pause at 07:48:06 Bottom Right of Sun then 08:00:05 still there then next frame 08:12:07 Wohoo0 then 08:24:05 still there and then its' gone.

Told you I was bored,still,nice couple of anomalies,the Sun Disc thing that is a common thing to see in the C2/C3 Imagers and then the Comet looking streak of whatever(no doubt,aimed at the Sun Disc thing,).

Though we may be getting a little clipped by the 22nd Forecast CME,very slightly [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] the Electrons show the picture a little better,Fraggle [link to www.swpc.noaa.gov] though,we are also due for minor effects from CH555 that crossed the Sun/Earth Meridian sometime between the 16th and 18th of February.

I know, soooo cool, I also wanted to know what that situation was with that one star below and slightly to the right of Lemmon whose cloud seemed to expand and glow, diminish and then expand and glow again? Anyone else notice it?

Hi guys, I'm kind of into this One People's Public Trust thingy and posted my own thread so I could throw my thoughts about our spiritual transformation out there without hijacking anyone else's thread. Check it out if interested.

Region 11673 [S11W22] decayed slowly and quietly.Region 11675 [N12W51] was quiet and stable.Region 11676 [S19E02] was quiet and stable.Region 11678 [N10W82] was mostly unchanged as it rotated to the northwest limb.

Spotted regions not numbered by SWPC:S2247 [S23E52] was quiet and stable.New region S2248 [S20E33] emerged with a penumbra spot.New region S2249 [N00E05] emerged at the equator with a penumbra spot.

And for the Coronal Hole Highlighted in the video posted above by Tink,it is a recurrent CH(it was a feature on the last rotation) - 'A recurrent trans equatorial coronal hole (CH556) will likely rotate into an Earth facing position on February 27' [link to www.solen.info]
